Ohio State continues to show out in the draft. The ten total selections came in as tied for the second-most of any program in America. It was the sixth time OSU has had more than ten players selected in the draft.
With three first-round selections (DE Chase Young No. 2 to Washington, CB Jeff Okudah No. 3 to Detroit, and CB Damon Arnette No. 19 to Las Vegas) broke a tie with USC for the most all-time first-round selections. The Buckeyes now have 84 all-time compared to USC’s 84 first-round picks.
The three first-round picks kept Ohio State in a tie with Alabama for most picks in the first round since 2000, as well, with 31 apiece. This was the fifth consecutive year that Ohio State has developed multiple first-round picks and the sixth time in the last seven years.
